Wel­come to the ‘Eng­lish’ sec­tion of our web­site. Here you will find lots of use­ful doc­u­ments to help you sup­port your child at home and also see what they will be learn­ing in school. At Richmond Primary School we follow National Curriculum objectives across the school. Click on the blue links to take you to the rel­e­vant documents.

GRAMMAR

The two links below out­line the gram­mat­i­cal lan­guage and objec­tives chil­dren will cover within each year group. The glos­sary pro­vides def­i­n­i­tions and exam­ples of the terminology.

Pupils in KS2 fol­low a spelling path­way in order to cover the statu­tory require­ments out­lined in the National Cur­ricu­lum. The link below shows how these objec­tives are taught across the year in years 3–6.

The National Cur­ricu­lum out­lines statu­tory require­ments for; Spo­ken Lan­guage, Read­ing — Word Recog­ni­tion and Com­pre­hen­sion, Writ­ing — Tran­scrip­tion, Hand­writ­ing, Com­po­si­tion, Vocab­u­lary, Gram­mar and Punc­tu­a­tion. Each of the links below show which objec­tives will be cov­ered in each of the areas aforementioned.

At Rich­mond we focus on teach­ing the dif­fer­ent types of writ­ing within imag­i­na­tive, real pur­poses often involv­ing real audi­ences. This helps pupils to appre­ci­ate the impor­tance of Eng­lish to their lives out­side school. The doc­u­ments below show how our Eng­lish units link to our Cor­ner­stones Imag­i­na­tive Learn­ing Projects, enabling pupils to use and apply all of their skills and knowl­edge across a wide range of cur­ri­u­cu­lum areas.

At Richmond we aim to provide at least one opportunity per week for children to complete a piece of extended writing, applying their knowledge from their Cornerstones learning. Please find below examples of how we make these cross curricular links.
